There is a build-up of water droplets on the rear wall. This is normal after automatic
defrosting (in Static Models).
The doors are not opening or closing properly.
Check if:
•
There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing
•
The door compartments, shelves and drawers are placed properly
•
The door gaskets are broken or torn
•
Your fridge is level.
The edges of the fridge in contact with the door joint are warm
Especially during summer (warm weather), the surfaces in contact with the door joint may
become warmer during operation of the compressor. This is normal.
Important notes:
•
In the case of a power failure, or if the appliance is unplugged and plugged in again,
the gas in the cooling system of your refrigerator will destabilise, causing the compressor
protective thermal element to open. Your refrigerator will start to operate normally after
5 minutes.
•
If the appliance will not be used for a long period of time (such as during holidays),
disconnect the plug. Defrost and clean the refrigerator, leaving the door open to prevent
the formation of mildew and odour.
•
If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please
consult the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

This appliance is designed for domestic use and for the stated purposes only. It is not

Hints for energy saving
1.
Install the appliance in a cool, well-ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not
near a heat source (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be
used.
2.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.
3.
Place thawing food in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the
frozen food will help cool the refrigerator compartment while the food is thawing. This will
save energy. Frozen food left to thaw outside of the appliance will result in a waste of
energy.
4.
Drinks or other liquids should be covered when inside the appliance. If left uncovered,
the humidity inside the appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses more energy.
Keeping drinks and other liquids covered helps preserve their smell and taste.
5.
Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too frequently
as warm air will enter the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily
often.
